We got free tickets from the car dealership. The problem was we were so lost getting there, we nearly missed the whole show! It was so bad J was driving the wrong way, on a one way road. He backed over the curb, which I thought was an absolute riot. What we saw of Los Lonely Boyswas good. It was just too short, especially for that long drive!

i didn't want to go, and he bought the tickets by accident. it was so dead only one entrance was open. we got golf carted there. we had lawn seats, but since it was empty we went to seats like usual. we jammed to last 3-5 staind songs. when their set ended the concert guy asked to see our tickets. he must've saw the blankets we had beneath our feet. we got busted, and sent back to the lawn. not that the lawn is bad. creed just was. i'm not into their music. they had great lights and fire, but it didn't matter. 30 minutes into their set people were leaving, yeah, that bad. it was lacking. people were laying and sitting down. we kept hoping it would better, but it just didn't.

i got a friend invite for rock the kids on myspace about a month ago, but i denied it cause i didn't understand what it was. then i saw the flyer in the fort worth weekly. it was a benefit concert for st. jude children's research hospital, i realized i had to go. i like the burning hotels, plus we wanted to check out stella rose which did not disappoint. their drummer is like tommy lee, their bass player is like kim gordon, their singer was like adam sandler in the wedding singer. he got off to a slow start, but by the end they killed it!!! we had such a fun time, and it was for a good cause.

she walked down the aisle to stairway to heaven. they both couldn't stop looking. they were so happy they couldn't stop smiling. he was crying. their hands clasped tightly the whole time.

i met some new people i enjoyed. reaquainted myself with old friends. ate some really good chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. danced and sang to the classic rock. whined about the lame country. and of course i love a party!

today i got to meet my fav artist. unfortunately they didn't allow photos inside. they did played zeppelin's misty mountaintop, the pretenders, zz top, and black crowes hard to handle. i got him to sign a piece of paper with my name on it! i got to see this turquoise glitter fender strat guitar signed with his name and splotches of paint. i was there in front of his original paintings, that i'll never be able to afford, but i got to meet peter max!!! which is beyond anything i'd ever imagine.

bad mexican food, bad tv, bad demon dog, bad teddi backing up into the syracuse city truck with my in-laws vehicle. thank goodness there wasn't any damage! it felt like i went back in time to my days as a teenager. except of course back then there was almost always damage.

one day while pulling weeds, j caught a little frog. it was tiny. maybe the size of a nickel or dime. i had never seen a frog so small! of course there are all kinds of creatures here. he acted completely giddy, the way i imagined he did as boy,when he'd catch horny toads in the desert.
